Prevalence and Predictors of Uncontrolled Asthma in Children Referred for Asthma and Other Atopic Diseases.
Article in Journal of asthma and allergy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundUncontrolled asthma in children is still highly prevalent despite the availability of effective asthma treatment. We investigated 1) the prevalence of uncontrolled asthma among children referred for asthma and referred for atopic diseases other than asthma (ie food allergy, allergic rhinitis or atopic dermatitis) to secondary care; and 2) the predictors associated with uncontrolled asthma.
methodsAll children (4 to 18 years) referred for asthma or atopic diseases other than asthma to 8 secondary care centers in The Netherlands were invited to an electronic portal (EP). The EP is a web-based application with several validated questionnaires including the ISAAC questionnaires and the Asthma Control Test (ACT). Children were eligible for inclusion in this study when their parents reported in the EP that their child had asthma diagnosed by a physician. The ACT was used to assess asthma control. Multiple predictors of asthma control (patient, asthma and atopic characteristics) were evaluated by univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses.
resultsWe included 408 children: 259 children (63%) with asthma referred for asthma and 149 children (37%) with asthma referred for atopic diseases other than asthma. Thirty-nine percent of all children had uncontrolled asthma: 47% of the children referred for asthma and 26% of the children referred for atopic diseases other than asthma. Predictors associated with uncontrolled asthma were a family history of asthma (odds ratio [OR] 2.08; 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.34 to 3.24), and recurrent upper and lower respiratory tract infections in the past year (OR 2.40; 95% CI 1.52 to 3.81 and OR 2.00; 95% CI 1.25 to 3.23, respectively).
conclusionUncontrolled asthma is highly prevalent in children with asthma referred to secondary care, even if children are primarily referred for atopic diseases other than asthma. Thus, attention should be paid to asthma control in this population.
